The bill would extend tax credits and incentives for biodiesel and renewable diesel fuel producers and users, helping to make these cleaner fuel alternatives more affordable and competitive with traditional petroleum diesel. These incentives primarily benefit fuel producers, refineries, and businesses that use or blend renewable diesel into their fuel supply. The measure aims to support the renewable energy industry and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
